Another rational approach to the drunk driving problem from the Mad Mothers, this time from their new "Impaired Driving Guidebook: Three Keys to Renewed Focus and Success", issued jointly with the federal government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. From page 16 of that document:

HURDLES TO REFORM

- A judiciary that struggles to define itself and maintain its objectivity in the face of aggressive defense attorneys.

- An organized DUI defense bar more concerned with "winning a case" than with the carnage on our streets and highways…

At long last, the DUI problem has been identified: It's those darned lawyers! Now, if they would stop being so aggressive and just plead everyone guilty, we can stop all that carnage overnight…

If it wasn’t for my lawyer I probably would’ve been sent to jail after my sentencing, resulting in the loss of my job and livelihood for just one mistake.

Every time MADD calls my house seeking a donation I tell them to go ‘Eff’ themselves.
